05.01.2022 My name is Simon Thorley, and I joined the Geelong West Kindergarten Committee for the first time in 2020. I joined in the capacity of OH&S representative, which has enabled me to work with the wonderful staff, as well as contribute to the Kinder community. In this capacity I perform an OH&S audit every term, and follow up any possible actions in relation to Health and Safety at the Kinder. It has been an extremely rewarding experience, and one I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get involved.
